The legacy of My Heart Will Go On

[LukeD]

Do you think that Celines late 90s success was due to the fact that Mariah broke up with Tomy Mottola and he prioritised Celine out of anger? Sometimes I wonder, since Mariah was highly pushed during the first half of the decade. Then it was Celines turn.

I think their successes are unrelated. Looking at Mariah's career on its own right, then her relationship with Tommy and subsequent divorce impacted her commercial success and decline, respectively. There is no denying that. She was robbed at the Grammy awards mid-90s, Daydream should have won like 2 or 3. There were also artistic differences between them, as Tommy was a lot more conservative, AC pop oriented.

 

Celine, on the other hand, slowly but steadily won the world over. First English Canada, then U.S, then Europe and Japan. Her album sales were progressing. So by mid 90s she was about to enjoy the fruits of her hard work. It was a very natural evolution. With BATB she proved to be a reliable singer for Soundtracks, with the TCOML she proved to be a force to be reckoned with. So it makes sense to me that after the massive success of TLYM in Japan and D'Eux in Europe her label would invest so much on her. But again, this had nothing to do with Mariah IMO. I mean, in 1996 she did not even release an album.

 

It also seems very reasonable to me that Celine took over eventually. I think she has the better voice, far more memorable, and she would do 15xTimes the touring Mariah did which meant that world actually got to know her better. She also focused on quality AC pop, all Mariah's releases between 1997-2004 are like average (Butterfly, Rainbow) to bad (Glitter, Charm bracelet) for me. Even Butterfly that is viewed as her finest work has some amazing songs and others I find pretty bad and tuneless. 😁

 

Just my two cents.

Does anybody have a clip where she won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for MHWGO in Grammy 1999? Thanks

We cannot compare Celine and Mariah, they are totally different

Celine is a performer and Mariah a studio artist.

 

Celine loves to deliver songs and Mariah loves to be involved in her music, from A to Z.

 

That doesn’t take credit neither to Celine neither to Mariah, cause they are totally different.

 

 

Celine is an album artist while Mariah is a single artist

Love this!

25th anniversary alternate video is at 987k views on YouTube.

 

The views have really slowed down since it was released. I was hoping it’d be past 1 million views by now.

[comingback]

1 Mio views

[ryba]

Her official YouTube channel has now 7,27 Mio subscribers! The more new or unreleased stuff they upload, the more people subscribe to her channel! That’s pretty cool. Also, the new MHWGO video reached 1 Mio views within only 2 weeks!

The Official 25th Anniversary Alternate Music Video of My Heart Will Go On has reached 1 MILLION+ views on Celine Dion's Official YouTube.

Despite all the unofficial original mhwgo music videos outthere, it's not bad, but yeah I think the competition is really heavy. They all should be blocked and the views should count to Celines video

[smw]

It took longer to reach a million views than I anticipated - but I’m just relieved to finally have an official MHWGO music video uploaded to her YouTube channel after all these years. It’ll keep growing and growing.

If her team would actually release more of the concert footage from previous tours, or maybe even more music videos of certain songs, if they exist, it would benefit them in the long run, and that channel would get a lot more views and support. Doesn’t a to love you more official video exist out there somewhere?

I think that video was made for the japanese TV only, to promote the soundtrack...

This has gone slow now

The views will grow with time -but if you were expecting it to go viral, they missed that boat when they missed the Titanic hype, and now the public has moved on...

as usual

[sebulba]

I think it was some TV company who filmed it, just like the Tokyo Dome, but for some reason it never was aired...

Or maybe the festival itself filmed it.

Ah ok thanks makes sense. I guess they always film concerts for the the big screens on the venue and they might as well record it when their at it so to speak. And you never know when or if they might get use of it for promos or something. This gets me thinking of all Celine's older concert if anyone had some inside contact or whatever to get hold of recordings from say LTAL tour and such in good or decent quality.

[sebulba]

I think this "Celine only" video was just made for the sake of having a Celine only music video and for the anniversary. What I mean is like they haven't edited or mastered the video too much in adding filters and all that but that is what makes it great as she look more real in this and not that soft that in the original video or to make an exaggerate comparison she don't look like she did in the I'm alive video where looks not like Celine.

just a flooop

At the very first beginning ,I thought this song would be like" I will always love you " which gets at least 400,000~700,000 views daily

Actually NO

Give it time. It might get views

The new ALTERNATIVE 25th Anniversary video is absolutely NOT a flop.

Fans were shocked for so many years that Team Celine had never released the original official "My Heart Will Go On" music video on Celine's

official YouTube. Incredibly confusing and a giant missed opportunity that could have added to the iconic songs legacy and to Titanic's legacy.

The original music video is one of the most successful music video's of all time, reaching #1 for several weeks on VH1, MTV, and The Box, setting all time records on VH1 and The Box music video channel, and helped Celine win VH1's Artist of the year award in 1998, along with Diva of the year, and Female Artist of the year!

YouTube launched in 2005, and Celine's official YouTube channel joined Mar 14, 2007.

Fan uploaded video's of the "My Heart Will Go On" music video achieved hundreds of millions of views/plays since YouTube began, but Celine's team NEVER officially released the official video, which was very odd and very disappointing.

 

It's not a fair comparison to compare the NEW alternative music video that was FINALLY released less than 2 months ago, & that is not the first music video that shows up when you search for Celine on YouTube, to Whitney's "IWALY" music video, which was released on Whitney's official YouTube channel 12 years ago!

 

If the official "My Heart Will Go On" music video was released on Celine's YouTube 12+ years ago, it would very likely have over 1 billion views, just like Whitney's "IWALY".

 

Let's stay positive and watch the views continue to climb a lot higher for the new music video and please not call it a flop, when it was released only less than 2 months ago.

Is the music video on top when you search it? It isn't when I do, but that can also be because of what I watch frequently.

For me is the same, It isn't.

[ordinary fan]

For me is the same, It isn't.

For me neither, same goes for the live 1999-2020 video, which doesn't show up at all. I have to search for it although I watch it from often. I love it. Strange
